I'm not a republican or a supporter, but my experience with your request is "But what about...?" Usually something robbed of context, not relevant, or blatantly made up and they don't care. For instance when the GOP Nazi group chat came out, some asked why "The Left" wasn't writing similar articles about people who disrespected Charlie Kirk's death. Malicious bad faith at worst and short sighted ignorance at best.

This is a propaganda tool used to manipulate a populace.

Yep. The bad faith argument is completely normalized by them. It's liar-town. Untrustworthy people.
